Wilds by ROOKE
ABOUT THE SHOW
Two acrobats and three tonnes of enriched soil: a match-up for our age.
They’re in a battle against each other, the elements and the cycles of their own lives but when you’re up against nature, can you ever come out on top?
Tasmania’s own ROOKE are quickly gaining international recognition for their work that brings together unrivalled acrobatic skill and charisma with heart and more than a little larrikin energy. This new work brings in core company members Conor Wild, Freyja Wild and Ryan Mahony with Jarred Dewey (YUMMY) and new award-winning collaborators Jenni Large (Wet Hard Long) and Louis Frere-Hervey (AIR).
Mud and muscle merge in this world premier from the creators of Interloper, Nimble and Junction Festival’s sellout Uplate.
This is bold contemporary circus at its most dirty: no mats, just earth.
ABOUT THE COMPANY
From the edge of the world, ROOKE is upending traditional notions of the circus artform and seeking to build community, sustainability, and joy. These are artists at the peak of their powers who have toured internationally with the world’s best.
